When I was still working at the Monitor, Andrew Mwenda called Justice Steven Kavuma, then serving as State Minister for Defense, for a comment after a plane crashed and killed Jet Mwebaze.
When Kavuma realized he had no answers to Mwenda’s questions, he said: “The number you have called is temporarily out of service”.
Steven Kavuma was special. 😂
That’s precisely why Kaddunabbi was hired. He wasn’t brought in to preside over a stagnant institution.
True leaders serve, strengthen and step aside. You don’t entrench yourself at the helm simply because you once built something from nothing. That’s the 1986 group mentality.
Age has finally caught up with Mr Museveni. At 82, he no longer has the vigor to stand for hours delivering national addresses. Those speeches will now be delivered from the comfort of his living room.
Also, we won’t watch people slump and drool at Kololo as he speaks anymore.
It has become deeply entrenched in our culture: no one wants to leave public office. Check the records at NIRA and you will be shocked by the flood of applications to amend dates of birth, especially from those approaching retirement age. People no longer treat positions as temporary calls to serve, but as personal inheritances.
So, Dr Muganga recorded the proceedings in the Parliamentary Appointments Committee as he was being vetted? Did he know of a plot against him prior to the vetting meeting, or did he know that his vetting would turn out controversial and decided to record?
Nsibambi will wait for a good job. These are already reserved for current holders or losers of the NRM primaries.
He'll seek another meeting with M7 but will be told M7 is busy with other engagements.
He will then return to Sanyuka TV to lament that the NRM is a mafia gang.
Is Gen Museveni not ashamed to allocate to his State House hundreds of billions, to play around with including donations for political patronage and yet see no need to pay pocket money to intern doctors ?
And that's how it started for the Reds. Some said only the rabid were being targeted. Then it became clear that it could just be anyone. Now, even the Yellows are almost finding themselves in the same position
